## Summary

South Tyneside Borough Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Toxicology Services for the Coroner. The contract, valued at £180,000, was awarded on 18 December 2025, with services set to commence on 1 January 2026 and conclude on 30 June 2027. University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust secured the contract using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. This award falls under the services category, specifically health services, and is to be delivered in the UKC2 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement process was finalised with the signing of the contract on 18 December 2025, as per the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services to establish a foothold in public sector contracts. While this specific opportunity focused on direct contracting with a pre-determined supplier, similar future procurement activities could provide openings for businesses equipped to deliver specialist toxicology and related health services. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in these niche areas, particularly within the public authority sub-central government framework, are well-suited to pursue similar engagements, potentially spurring business growth through public-sector partnerships. Engaging with such contracts fosters credibility and expands networks, offering pathways to further collaborations within the health sector.
